Song lyrics
Pull the ripchord
The ship has lost it's sail
Your mama's got a new man
Your daddy always fails
And you're eating again
At them because no body loves you
and even fancy things have finally lost their charm
wine and diamond rings that never get you anymore
you're sleeping again alone
because nobody loves you

And ooh, they should have seen you,
should have known you
should have known what it was like to be you
so come on kid, look at what you did.
i don't know if you meant it, but you did yourself in
and i was even having a good day
when i'd found out we'd lost you

and ooh, she said it was in the singing and the strumming,
or maybe i even saw it coming. (??)

Eating again, alone, because nobody loves you- how can they gone wrong? my interpretation of the last bit is "oh man, i even saw it comin'??? dunno. Love the whilstling at the end. And the "i was even having a good day, when i found out we lost you".

for some reason, i always though this song was about elliott smith...

and, fyi, the last line is "and, oh man, i even saw it coming." (if you them live, afterwards he goes "...shoulda sold tickets!")

anyway, rilo kiley is great.
